Travel destinations I would really like to visit Italy. Because I want to meet Yuki Ishikawa. He is a Japanese volleyball player and belongs to Power Volley Milano in Italy. I want to see his match in Italy. If I can travel to Italy, I would like to travel for a week. I want to watch a volleyball game for two days and go sightseeing in Italy the rest of the time. There are three tourist attractions I want to visit. The first is the Milan Cathedral. It is adorned with dozens of precious stained glass windos made in the 14th and 15th centuries. The second is the Trivia Fountain. It is the largest fountain in Rome decorated with beautiful sculptures, and it is famous that you can visit Rome again by throwing a coin backwards, so I would like to do that. The third is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is a famous leaning tower that is tilted diagonally. Due to the land subsidence during construction, it began to tilt and was completed without being able to be corrected. I want to see these three once in my life. I would like to try gnocchi, which is a dumpling-shaped food made by combining potatoes and flour, and bruschetta, which is one of the traditional dishes of eating various ingredients on French bread with a snack-like dish.

Ishiyama, Tomoka

Travel destinations I want to visit Canada. Because there are many beautiful views in Canada. I want to visit two places in particular. First, I want to see the aurora in Yellowknife. The aurora can be observed even in summer, and the rate of observation is high. The upside-down aurora is reflected in the lake in summer. Second, I want to see Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is one of the three major falls in the world. Ice collapses in early spring. There is a rainbow spanning the sky caused by the spray in summer. The amount of water decreases, and the entire falls freeze in winter. So, the Niagara Falls is attractive that it changes depending on the season and time.

I want to eat maple syrup. I want to eat pancakes and ice cream with maple syrup in Canada. The maple is as famous in the center of national flag. Also, October fifth was established as a special day to make pancakes using maple syrup and thank loved ones. I want to stay in Canada for five days. Because I think that I want to eat Japanese food after more than five days. Also, I want to stay in summer. Because winter in Canada is colder than winter in Japan. I am not good at cold. In addition, I want to travel with my friends. Because I enjoy talking with my friends when we go to the famous sightseeing area. I cannot think of going alone. I want to share the fun.

Nishide, Atsuko

Would you like to go to Korea? I’m interested in Korean food and KPOP, so I would like to visit Korea. I’m going to introduce the charm of Korea now. First, there are many delicious foods in Korea such as bibimbap, samgyeopsal and tteokbokki. Among them, this time I would like to recommend manul bread, which is made by sandwiching cream cheese sweetened with sugar or honey in bread soaked with plenty of garlic butter, and waffle made from croissant dough called kuroffle. Please pay attention to these as they may be popular in Japan now or in the future. Second, In Korea, there is a folk costume called Hanbok. For modern Koreans, it is the clothing worn for annual events and important days (1st birthday, wedding, funeral, etc.). When we go to Korea, we can walk around the city and take pictures of wonderful trips with the quaint buildings in the background wearing it. And finally, there is an abandoned amusement park called Yongma Land in Seoul. It’s not possible to ride a vehicle now, but it was also used to shoot music videos for numerous KPOP idols and dramas, so fans can take pictures and enjoy themselves. There are many more attractions in Korea other than those introduced this time. Why don’t you think of it as a travel destination?

Tsuboyama, Ayaka

Travel destinations I would like to visit to America for two weeks in my college life. Because there are many sightseeing spots and tasty foods. New York City is the one place I want to visit. When I walked there at night some years ago, I was surprised at the brightness. Especially Times Square was very lively. I want to feel that atmosphere again. The Statue of Liberty was also impressive. It was bigger than I expected. I want to climb up to the crown next time because I didn’t last time. Most people know Niagara Falls as a famous Canadian sightseeing spot. However, we can watch Niagara Falls from New York. It’s one of the Three Great Waterfalls of the

World. Feeling its powerful splash on a cruise ship is definitely exciting. Also, I want to enjoy Disney California Adventure. There is thrilling Ferris Wheel called Pixar PalA-Round. Speaking of Ferris Wheel, you usually imagine a slow movement. However, this attraction swings from side to side. American eating habits are good for me because I often eat junk food a lot. I guess you know hamburger, pizza, French fries, donuts and ice cream as American foods. There are more local foods such as spaghetti with meatballs and macaroni and cheese. Also, Mexican foods, like the burrito for example, are very popular. When I visit to America, I will enjoy them at local restaurants.

Shimizu, Sumire

The country I want to go to I want to visit the United states. Because, I want to go Disney world Florida and to see the Statue of Liberty. The size of Disney world is larger than the size of Tokyo Disneyland and sea. I want to see the Tangled area. There is no Tangled area in Tokyo Disneyland. I like the sights in the Tangled area. I want to see them with my own eyes. I hope I can stay for two weeks. I can enjoy the US for two weeks. I want to try eating at McDonalds in America. I like french fries and chicken nuggets. American sizes are so big. I’m interested in American sizes. Other American foods look delicious. I want to travel with my family. Because, I haven’t traveled with my family

lately. I want to make good memories with my family. My family like Disney too. I think that my family wants to go Disney world in the US too. I have never been to America. So, I want to go there. I have never seen the Statue of Liberty, so I want to see it. The Statue of Liberty was presented in 1886 by a French fundraiser who supported the independence movement to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the independence of the US. Total weight of the Statue of Liberty is 225 tons. I am surprised at it. I have many countries I want to go to. Among the countries I want to go to, I want to go to the US. Things get back to normal, I’m looking forward to going to the US.

Minamoto, Norika

Convenience store items I introduce convenience store items. I go there once a week. I have no favorite store. I go to the one which is near my house, Seven-Eleven. I usually buy ice cream, lunch, cheap sweets, and convenience store limited-edition products. Because I want to get them promptly and it is a bother to go to the super-market. I have some favorite products. First, an ice cream I like is Biscuit-Sand. A limitededition one is sold now; it’s photographic. It has a sweet vanilla flavor, and the moist biscuit is great with ice cream, and this size is satisfactory. The second is lunch, which I usually buy. I get a rice ball. There are various foodstuffs in the rice. Now my favorite taste

is umeboshi plum. Moreover, convenience store’s rice balls taste good. Because they use a good amount of salt, and the crunchy seaweed is nice. Third, cheap sweets which are sold by convenience stores. I buy Snack-Karupasu and Kinakobo more often than others. These are a popular price and have a good taste. I think there are problems. Rice balls are expensive considering the small size. So, I feel hesitant to buy them. I hope to resolve this problem. In addition, convenience store sells only several kinds. So, I want stores to sell more kinds of cheap sweet. Even with such problems, I continue to use convenience stores. I recommended these items. Please try them.

Kawano, Yusaku

My future children’s name I want to get married because I want children and I think to living with someone will cause many difficulties but there will be a lot of things that make me happy. I wish I had three or more children. Because I’m on good terms with my two brothers and the experience has been fun; I think it will be more fun and livelier if there is more child. I will introduce the origin of my name. My name contains part of my father’s name. My parents gave me a different reading of the kanji in my father’s name. I tryed to think of my future child’s name. I would like to come up with a wonderful wish. I want the child to like their name. I think bizarre names are also wonderful if they are not too lively. If my child is a girl, I want to name her “Minami”. If my child is a boy, I want to name him “Saku”. In the future, I want to discuss a lot with the people around me and decide my children’s name (if I can get married).

Hayashi, Tsukasa

Convenience store items I am currently working a part-time job at a convenience store. Many customers come to the store every day and various products are sold. So, I wanted to know what products everyone would like to recommend. I go to the convenience store at least three times a week for my part-time job, but I only go there once a week as a guest. How often do you go to the convenience store every week? I often use Family-Mart and Seven-Eleven; which convenience store do you go to? I often buy foods from the counter and bread; what do you buy at convenience stores? In the end, each convenience store has its own products; are there any products you would like to recommend? I recommend FamilyMart curry bread and Seven-Eleven frozen pepperoncino. They are so delicious. Is there anything you would like to see if you could choose a product like this at the convenience store? I think cake shops close early, so if you have more cakes at the 24hour convenience store, you can buy them on your way home from work or school.

Hasegawa, Miku

My future child’s name I want to get married because I want a family and I want to reassure my parents. I want two children. I’m glad I have a sister who can talk about anything so I would like both to be girls. My parents gave me my name because they wanted me to live a life of hope and the sound was cute. I like my name but it’s hard to pronounce, so two words are good for my child’s name. If I give birth to a baby girl, I’m going to call her “Ai”. It’s because I want to my baby to be a person who is easy to call and full of love. The main reason is the sound is cute. When I looked up how to decide the children’s names, many people put in Chinese characters and words with the wishes that they would grow up like this. Some people decided the child’s name according to the image of the season and the plant. A child’s name is something that he will carry for the rest of his life, so I want to decide carefully with my family.

Yahara, Nonoka

Future children’s names I think about future children’s names. My parents named me Mai. I heard that my parents wanted me to grow up like hemp that the plant is strong. I also want to give my children a good name. I want two or three children if I get married. There are two reasons why I want two or three children. First, I think it would be more fun. One child can have fun, but if there are two or three children, they can play games together. And they can do many events, so we can make many memories with our family. Second, children can rely on many people. They can rely on their parents and their brother or sister if they have problems. If I give the name for my children, I want them to grow up as cheerful and bright children. In addition, I think it would be nice to include something that makes me feel the season in a part of their name. If the child is a boy, I think the name “Asahi” is good. I want a child to be a person who illuminates people brightly. Next, if the child is a girl, I think the name “Kisaki” is good. The name means that child’s wish will come true. I would like to give my children a name with a good meaning like these.

Mitsui, Mai

Thoughts on the name I know the origin of name my parents gave me. It was given to me so I could grow up to be a child who can make many friends and fulfill my wishes. I really like my name, and my parents thought a lot about the naming. I have one brother, and my favorite memories are of playing together. Therefore, If I have children, I want to have many. Because my children can help each other even if my future husband and I are gone. If I will give a name to my child, it will be a name they can be proud of. If my child is a girl, it will be “葵”. The reason is that this flower word stands for ambition and fruitfulness. On the other hands, if my child is a boy, it will be “ 翠”. It stands for having a clear and beautiful heart. However, the name for the child and how they live depends on them. I hope to put my wish in their names, at least. Each name has a different meaning, and some people think of it no matter what the name is. Children carry their names for the rest of their life, so if I name them myself, I want to think hard about it.

Awa, Tomomi

Travel destinations I would like to visit Hokkaido in Japan. I have three things which I want to do in Hokkaido. First, I want to ski there. I visited Hokkaido four years ago. I skied then for the first time. Skiing for the first time was very difficult, but it was a lot of fun when I was able to ski. So, I want to ski again. I want to try not only skiing, but also snowboarding because I thought that it looks like fun when I saw my brother doing snowboarding. Second, I want to sightsee. Hokkaido has much to offer to tourists. I want to go to the “cave of blue” and “the night view of Sapporo”. Both are very beautiful and healing places. The night view of Sapporo is so beautiful that it is said to be one of Japan’s three major night views. Third, I want to eat bowl of rice topped with sashimi. The seafood which I ate in Hokkaido was very fresh and delicious, unlike seafood which is sold in supermarkets. I like seafood very much, so I want to eat it in Hokkaido again. I want to stay there for a week. I would like to ski in the first half of the week and sightsee in the last half of week. I want to enjoy traveling Hokkaido with a couple of my congenial friends.

Shoji, Chiyuki

My travel plan I want to visit abroad. There are many World Heritage Sites and famous buildings overseas that I have never seen. For example, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Columbia and the Statue of Liberty in the United States are all world-famous buildings. I want to look around these. I especially want to go to England as a pilgrimage to the holy land of my favorite movie. I went to Australia when I was studying abroad, but I couldn’t do much sightseeing, so I would like to go there again for sightseeing purposes. If I go abroad, I would like to stay for about 3 weeks. So, I would like to use a long vacation, such as a summer vacations or a spring vacation. I hope I can take time to travel around the country during that period. As for food, I want to eat the specialties of that country. I rarely eat different foods in Japan, so I want to try so many of them. Now that it’s not so easy for us to travel abroad in COVID-19, I would like to enjoy this year’s trip in Japan. During the summer vacation, I hope to go to Tokyo to shop and relax in a hot spring in a rural area. I will go abroad when COVID-19 is over.

Nishikimi, Kaho

Traveling to Korea If I can go on a trip abroad, I want to go to Korea. I have three reasons. First, there are many traditional foods in Korea. For example, bibimbap and pork belly. Recently, Korean food is popular in Japan, so you can eat them here. But I think that if you eat foreign food locally, you can find out the true taste. When you go to Korea, why don’t you try Korean food at a local restaurant? Second, there are several big theme parks in Korea. For example, Lotte World and Everland. These theme parks have their own worlds with various attractions, and are places for everyone to enjoy. They have also become popular spots for many Korean celebrities. Therefore, it is an indispensable place to enjoy a trip to Korea. Third, recently, there has been a Korean boom in Japan, and you can get many Korean sweets and makeup accessories in Japan. However, if you buy these items in Korea, where prices are lower than in Japan, you can get them very cheaply. So, I think that I want to Korea and buy a lot of things I want and enjoy shopping. If you have a chance to travel abroad, please go to Korea, which is close to Japan.

Ninagawa, Ayumi

Future child’s name My name comes from the movie Spirited Away. The movie is a Japanese featurelength animated film released in 2001. It is a wonderful movie that is famous both in Japan and abroad. I like my name. The name remains important for the rest of your life. Children’s names must be carefully considered by all members of the family. We have to choose a name that you will never regret. After I get married, I want to have more than one boy and girl. I have some suggestions for thinking about children’s names. First, I want the name to have a nice meaning. There are many people who can put the meaning into a name of what kind of person they want their child to grow up to be in the future, the season

at the time of birth, and their own desires. The second is the number of characters. For girls, I want it to be a 3 syllable name. For example, “Akari” and “Hinano”. For boys, I would like to have a two syllable name. For example, “Haru” and “Kai”. And I want to give them a kanji character that represents nature. The sound of “sea” and “spring” is very beautiful. Third is to combine my name with the name of my future husband. The combination can be not only the first name but also the last name. The kanji used in the name have meaning depending on the number of strokes. There are many kinds of characters even if they are read in the same way. I don’t think it is too early to think of a child’s name. I would like to come up with a nice name.

Hiura, Chihiro

Travel in America I want to go to USA with my friends for a week. There are two things I want to do there. First, that is to go to many famous tourist spots in the USA. I especially want to travel to Boston and New York on the east coast. We can see the Statue of Liberty, the United Nations, and Times Square which are symbols of America on the east coast. I want to see something that can only be seen there. I want to see the splendor of the sunset as I cross the Brooklyn Bridge, go to Grand Central Terminal and enjoy the view of Hamilton Park overlooking New York after the sun goes down. Second, is to spend a day at the museums. I want to go to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and American Museum of Natural History. I think it’s good to hear the explanation of work while looking at the work itself. It’s exciting to see my favorite paintings of Monet and Vermeer at The MET. I’m looking forward to seeing giant dinosaurs, many animals, and Moai statues at the Natural History Museum, which is famous as the setting for the Night at the Museum. I want to buy souvenirs after taking pictures and enjoying the museums for a day. I hope it will be a week in which I can fully enjoy my trip to USA.

Itakura, Natsuki

Want to GoTo France I want to go to France. There are three reasons why I want to go to France. The first reason is that I have always wanted to go to Mont Saint Michel. First of all, to explain what Mont Saint Michel is like, it is a monastery on a small island. I used to watch Mont Saint Michel on TV and the sight was so fantastic that I still had it in my eyes, so I wanted to go someday. Another reason to want to go to Mont Saint Michel is to eat an omelette at the very famous omelette shop inside Mont Saint Michel. The second reason is that I want to try authentic French food. French food in Japan is very good. I would like to go to France to try authentic French food because I think it tastes better than the food in Japan. By the way, I like galette the best among all French foods, so When I go to France, I would like to go to a restaurant famous for galette first. Finally, the third reason is Palace of Versailles. The reason why I want to go is because I want to see how the French royalty lived. Lastly, if I were to go to France, I would like to go with my wife on our honeymoon. Also, since it is our honeymoon, it would be great to stay in France for about a week.

Mizoo, Towa

I want to stay in Taiwan for five days and four nights. I want to travel with my friends and my sister. First, I want to go to Taipei 101. The building is the tallest building in east Asia. The observation floor is covered with glass. And the speed of that elevator to go to the floor is very fast. Also, I want to go to Sirin Night Market. I would like to eat oyster omelets and cheese potatoes, and Mango flavored shaved ice. Furthermore, I wanna buy souvenir for my parents and my grandparents. There also seem to be game stalls there, for example shooting gallerys, darts, and shrimp fishing. Second, I would like to go to Dan Shui to see the beautiful sunset. The port town is called “the east Venice”. It takes few minutes to see the sea after I arrive at the station. Also, I wanna go to Jiufen. The place is said to be the inspiration for the location which appeared the world of Spirited Away. According to local people, they recommend a slightly brighter time before the sunset. And, I want to take a nice picture in Shuqilu.

Imagawa, Kaho

Travel destination I really would like to visit Hawaii. Because the sea in Hawaii is very clear and beautiful. So I want to swim in the sea. And I want to collect shells and make accessories with them. I also want to go shopping, because cosmestics and clothes that I can’t buy in Japan are on sale. Also, I can get them cheaply. For example, “Glossier” has not landed in Japan; it can only be bought in Hawaii. Also I want to eat American McDonald’s and Starbucks there. In particular, I would like to compare the sizes of McDonald’s drinks and fried potatoes in Japan and Hawaii. Also, I want to get Hawaii-exclusive drinks and tumblers at Starbucks. When I went to Los Angeles, there were tumblers sold only in Los Angeles. so I would like to collect them.

And I also want to climb Diamond Head. Because my favorite entertainer climbed it and uploaded a very beautiful pic on Instagram. I also want to see the wonderful view with my own eyes. I want to live in Hawaii for a month with my friends. In a month, I’ll be able to fully enjoy it locally. Also, I want to stay in a share house like a terrace house for a month. Also, I would like to try guava juice in Hawaii. I’m wondering what it tastes like. Therefore, When the Coronavirus situation settles down, I want to travel Hawaii.

Shinya, Rina

Travel to Amazon I want to go to the Amazon in Brazil. Because I like fishing so much and I want to eat some foods in Amazon. I always go fishing when I am free, but I fished too much in Japan. Amazon’s fish are fantastic and huge. There are evil fish in the Amazon river. For example, Piranhas. But they can be used as bait. I want to attach them to the hook and catch a big fish like an Arapaima. I would like to see other anacondas that live in the Amazon . They’re huge snakes. I have seen a pit viper but it wasn’t so exiting. So I want to see an Anaconda. I am also interested in local food. For example insects. In Japan , we can’t a lot of insect food, but we will be able to eat a lot of insects in Amazon. We often watch people eating insects on TV. However you can’t really understand the texture and taste without actually eating it yourself. Furthermore I’m interested in eating styles and cultures that can only be eaten locally, so I would like to actually go and feel everything in Amazon. I think it will take about a week to go to Amazon and come back. So I would like to stay for 2 weeks including the fact that I want to go sightseeing in the area. I want to travel with fishing friends. Because we would fish a lot. For these reasons I want to go to Amazon in Brazil.

Motoki, Kaichi

I want to enjoy the atmosphere of France. I would like to visit other countries nearby. For the second reason, I want to watch a soccer game. My favorite soccer team is Paris-Saint-Germain (PSG).

Aoki, Rei

My Future Children’s Name My parents gave me my name by their wish that they would want me to grow up kind, and soften the place. I want to get married if I find a man to want to stay with. I need a compatible partner because we live in the same house. Even if I can’t find a nice man, I like living alone, too. I want to work whether I get married or not. Free time is my time or my family’s time. However, I want to raise children. For that, I want to get married. I want two children. I’m troubled about having two or three children. When I have a child, I can raise only one child importantly. However, children enjoy playing with their brothers or sisters rather than alone. So I want two or three children. Two is an even numbers and three is an odd number. For this reason, I want two children. I want one boy and one girl. I like names with two characters. I think it’s easy to call their name when my children’s name has only two syllables. My mother named me Yuna. It’s a name with two syllables. My future children’s name will be Kai and Sara. Both Kai and Sara are decided if they are boys or girls. Moreover, their name is easy to call. Therefore I name my children Kai and Sara in the future.

Goto, Yuna

My future child’s name My name includes the character “Yu” (優). This name was given to mean that my parents want me to grow up to be a kind person. I want to get married in the future, but I want some freedom even if I get married. So, I want to get married with someone who we can have a good influence on each other, but we don’t interfere with each other. In short, I don’t want to be obliged to do everything together by getting married. I understand that I am selfish, but this is the ideal form for getting married.

In addition, I want two children in the future because it number is not too much; just right. I have three brothers including me, so it costs money to go to school, eat meals, and do anything. Of course, there are merits such as being lively and fun every day, but money management seems to be difficult. I think that I don’t need so many children to live a stable life. Conversely, an only child is lonely because there are no people to play with. For these reasons, I want two children in the future. I haven’t decided my future children’s name yet. I want to give my future children a fashionable name that isn’t the same with other people.

Hiraoka, Yuna

What are the popular products at convenience stores that are commonplace? Convenience stores are one of the great inventions. Many people will take it for granted that they are close to our houses. I myself have used them as a matter of course since I first thought about it. It suddenly appeared a few years ago and has become an indispensable part of my life. This time, I will write about things that many people will be interested in at such convenience stores. Convenience stores have a wide variety of food, daily necessities, miscellaneous goods, books, and more. At one point I wondered. What is the most popular product among the products that are placed so much? Anyone may have been curious once or twice. Let’s investigate this question with a special feature!

immovable. I also often buy foods such as lunch boxes and hot snacks at convenience stores. The quality of the products is also high, so there are probably many buyers. I tend to skip cooking because the convenience store level is too high. I’ve been made to be a bad person! Convenience stores have become an indispensable presence. I want the price to be cheaper than it is now, but if that happens, I will rely more on it. I want someone to stop me from begging for something that is too convenient but not very convenient. But somewhere in my heart I believe there are many people like me! What about you, readers?

What do people buy at convenience stores? Among the many attractive products, food is probably the most

Kaneko, Kazuki

Travel destinations I want to visit Australia. Because I want to watch and touch various animals. I especially want to catch a Barramundi. I have an image that Australia has many huge lakes or large areas of land like nature parks. So I think Australia is a paradise of living things. Actually, Australia is a country famous for Wallabies, Kangaroos, Wombats and Koalas. On the other hand, We can go sightseeing, because Australia has many beautiful and good tourist areas. In addition, Australian foods are very nice. But part of that seems to be distinctive. For example vegemite. Anyway, there are many living things live in Australia. It is not too much to say heaven for people who love animals. Many species that live in Australia don’t inhabit Japan.

I want to go to Australia with friends. I usually go fishing with them. So I want to visit Australia with friends, and go around all lakes or ponds to catch a big one. To do that, I want to stay there at least half a year. During the time I want to do various things that can only be done Australia. For example to catch Australian unique fish, or to deepen friendship by the travel. I want to do many more things in Australia. I said I want to go around lakes or ponds, and the Great Barrier Reef. That is a huge coral reef, so various fish live there. For these reasons, I want to go to Australia with friends, and watch various animals.

My Future Child’s Name My name is Asai Motofumi. My name comes from a doctor who my parents respect. My parents named me with the hope that I would become a good medical worker. This is why I decided to be a pharmacist. I want to give a meaningful name to my child. This is because meaningful name reminds children of parental love. From meaningful name, children can feel that their parents named them after a great deal of thought. They can also feel that their parents cherished them when they were baby. For these reasons, I think good name is not unique name but meaningful name. If I name my son, I’ll name him 裕介 (Yusuke). 裕 (yu) is used for my brother’s name. I like him very much, so I want to use this character for my son’s name. 裕 (yu) means enriched spirit. 介 (suke) means helping other people. I want my son to help other people by thoughtful acts. This is why I decided this name. If I name my daughter, I’ll name her 志帆 (Shiho). 志 (shi) means belief to achieve something. 帆 (ho) means sail. I want my daughter to find something what she really wants to do and achieve it, as if a sailing ship navigates the sea freely. This is why I decided this name. Name is first present for children, so my future self will think a lot about it.

Travel I want to go to Italy. Because Italy was the setting for my favorite comics. I want to go to Venice, the Colosseum in Rome, and Pompeii in Naples and take a lot of pictures. The characters in the comics have unique poses, so I want to take pictures in those poses. I want to try pizza, risotto, and cappuccino when I go to Italy. I love Italian food and coffee so I want to drink and eat them. I would like to stay for about two weeks in warm weather. There are many places I want to see, so I am thinking of staying longer. If I have done everything I want to do early, it is a good to ask the locals for recommended sightseeing spots and go there. The person who travels with me is a friend at same high school; we made a promised to go to Venice. I have been saving money since I was in the first year of college, so I am planning to go to Italy next spring with that money. I am starting to study Italian a little. I can only remember the names of foods, drinks, and greetings. I can order drinks at the restaurant. I am going to study Italian so that I can order foods at the restaurant. Studying Italian is more difficult than studying English, but imaging going to Italy makes studying fun.

Travel destinations I really like to visit Korea. My parent’s home is in Fukuoka, so it’s close and easy to get there, and there are a lot of cute cosmetics and clothes. Also, the food is delicious. I usually stay in Korea for 3~4 days, but sometimes for about a week. The next time I go to Korea, I want to eat “Tansuyuk”. Next, I would like to introduce the charms of Korea. The first is that the number of cosmetics sold is very large. There is a famous drugstore called Olive Young in Korea. Cosmetics are also sold in drugstore in Japan, but there are incomparably more cosmetics in Korean drugstores. And there are campaigns where if you buy one product, another will be attached, so you can buy it cheaply.

The second is that the food is delicious. Samgyeopsal and Chajamgmyeon eaten in Korea are exceptional. There are many Korean restaurants where side dishes on small plates without asking for them, so I think everyone will be satisfied. In addition, there are food stalls, so you can eat kimbap and trendy foods. Korea has a lot of good things such as food, clothes and beauty products. It’s a place that both men and women can enjoy, so it’s a loss if you don’t go. Everyone tends to go to Seoul, but I personally recommend going to Busan. I hope the day will come when we can go abroad freely.

Let’s go Hawaii! Do you know Hawaii? Hawaii is one of best beautiful spots all over the world. It has many things. I will try to introduce a few of those now. For the first,There is Waikiki Beach. Waikiki Beach is a famous Hawaii Beach with a variety of sandy beaches steering about three kilometers. Diamond Head can be seen from the water’s edge. It is also a spot where you can enjoy a convenient resort lifestyle with a concentration of hotels, restaurant, and shopping spots, not to mention Waikiki Beach. For the second, Diamond is recommended. It is a symbol of Hawaii that rises to the east of Waikiki. Do you know why it is called Diamond Head? It is a crater created by a volcanic eruption about 300,000 years ago. It was called Diamond Head in the late 1700s after Western explorers mistook the calcite crystals on the mountain for diamonds. For the third, Egg Benedict is famous. It is an english muffin topped white ham, bacon, salmon, avocado, or poached eggs and sauce. It is very delicious. There are too many wonderful things about Hawaii to introduce here. You can swim in the ocean, shop, and eat great food. Please go there!

Future children’s name Magazine Homework I have heard why my parents gave this name. They named me with the hope that I would grow up cheerfully and energetic. My name is written in hiragana, because my mother’s name uses hiragana. I want to get married, because I want children. I want a few more than one child if possible. I think it’s fun even for an only child. However, having brothers and sisters will reduce the time you spend alone and make it more fun. I have a sister, so I feel this for myself. Also, you can help each other if you have brothers and sisters when something goes wrong. If I name my child, I want to name it in kanji. This is because my name is written in hiragana. Also, I don’t like unique names. It may be nothing when the child is little, but it’s a pity that she grows up and gets bullied because of the name I gave. The number of strokes may be important. I would like to give a girl a name using kanji that remind of colors like “Aoi” and “Ruri“. On the other hand, I want to be aware of the number of strokes in the boy’s name. Also,I would like to give a boy a name using kanji that reminds of nature like “Hayato“ and “Kai”.

The country I want to go to before I die I would really like to visit to Canada. Canada is the second largest country in the world and is blessed with nature. There you will find the Rocky Mountains and Niagara Falls. The first reason I want to go to Canada is because I want to see the aurora. My mother said she wants to see the aurora once before she dies. So, I would like to go with my family to do filial piety. The most popular spot in Canada is Yellowknife. The encounter rate of aurora is also high, and you can see colorful aurora. The second is because it’s the location of Tokkebi. Tokkebi is my favorite Korean drama. I want to visit the shooting location in Canada. The first place I want to go is Queen‘s Park. It’s a place where the beginning and end of the drama are I think it will be absolutely fun to travel around while remembering the drama scene. Aurora is a natural phenomenon and cannot always be seen. If we have two weeks, we can enjoy Canada. For the first week, I will try to observe the aurora, and for the rest of the week, I want to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery. It may be difficult now because of COVID-19, but I would like to try it someday.

Recommended 7-Eleven Products Here are some recommended 7-Eleven products. I go to the convenience store at least once a week. Of all the convenience stores, I like Family Mart the best, but I often go to 7-Eleven because there is a 7-Eleven near my house. I always get my bread, milk and eggs for breakfast at a nearby 7-Eleven. When I was in my third year of high school, I went to 7-Eleven every day. I went to cram school every day and there was a 7-Eleven next to the cram school, so I always went to 7-Eleven to buy dinner with my friends. As I used to go there every day, I have bought many kinds of 7-Eleven products.

away. The second is plain salad chicken. The point is to buy a normal plain instead of choosing one with cheese or lemon flavor. When I eat the size and amount, I feel very satisfied and full. It was a must-have item during the exam period. Third place is onigiri with salmon roe. The reason why I like this product is that I like it very much, and I like this product because I like how much it is. This product is a little more expensive than regular onigiri, so I used to buy it as a reward at the end of the test or on weekends. I really want you to try my recommended products.

Number one is the romaine lettuce and the hot-bowl Caesar salad. When I was in high school, I ate salad every day for dinner because of my health. Of all the salads I tried, this Caesar salad was the most delicious. When I had hot bowl, I was so happy that I chose hot bowl right

I would like to go to the U.S. some day. I have two reasons for that. First, I want to feel the air of nature. The U.S. is a very huge country, so there are a lot of natural tourist destinations. For example, Niagara Falls, Yellowstone National Park, or Grand Canyon are so famous, especially I want to visit Grand Canyon once before I pass away. The Grand Canyon is located in the state of Arizona. The Colorado River, which is nearly 1,500 meters deep, cuts across the Grand Canyon National Park. We can feel 2 billion years of history in the earth by seeing its horizontal strata. I think its beautiful view is really worth seeing. Second, I want to watch sports, for example MLB or NBA, and so on. I like watching foreign athletes play. They have great physical ability and skills, so I am very excited every time I see them. If you see MLB, you can see it leisurely. You can enjoy batting sounds, close plays, or ball speed. If you see NBA, you will be surprised to the game speed. Amazing plays happen one after another, so you can’t never take your eyes off. I would like to share fantastic memories in the U.S. with my family. I really want you to visit there.

My favorite convenience store’s item I go to convenience stores three or four times in a week. I usually go to Seven-Eleven to buy lunch or dinner. I am living by myself now, so convenience store lunch boxes are very good for meal. There are some favorite items in Seven-Eleven, but I am going to introduce another convenience store’s items. I introduce Seicomart’s items. Do you know Seicomart? It is famous convenience store in Hokkaido. When I lived in Hokkaido, I usually went the convenience store. There are no FamilyMarts in my hometown, so Seicomart is popular convenience store next to Seven-Eleven and LAWSON. My favorite Seicomart’s item is Fried Chicken. It is delicious. There is a Hot Chef in Seicomart. Fried Chicken is one of Hot Chef’s item. There are a lot of delicious foods in it. For example, Fried Potato, Katsudon and Rice Balls. I think Hot Chef’s foods are the most delicious foods in convenience store. If you have a chance to visit Hokkaido, you should go Seicomart and try Hot Chef’s foods.

Convenience store items I go to the convenience store about once a week. I got tired of going to Family Mart in my high school. And 7-ELEVEN is in my living area now. I like 7-ELEVEN and go often. I think 7-ELEVEN is rich in sweets. I usually buy ice cream and sweets. What I’m addicted to is the ice cream called “Marude Kanjuku Mango.” I want to recommend to you. My friend told me about it last summer. I was shocked when I encountered this item. It’s like sorbet, but smooth and melty. The taste of mango is strong, so delicious. It’s only at 7-ELEVEN. In addition, it disappeared last winter, and it was limited to summer. When I looked at the ice cream corner recently. I was happy because it has come back again. It’s getting hot so I’m going to eat this year as well. The convenience store has everything, and it is excellent. If you force me, I want to sell Korean chicken to convenience stores. Because I want to eat impulsively sometimes. Korean food is popular now, so I want you to put Yangnyeom chicken in a hot snack. Korean restaurants are crowded even on weekdays. I want people to feel free to eat Korean foods. I think convenience stores are also worth participating in the Korean boom.

Convenience store products I recommend This time, I chose the theme of “Convenience Store Products Recommended by Myself”. The reason why I chose this theme is because I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of products people recommend at convenience stores, where there are so many products. “I go to convenience stores two or three times a week. Whenever I do, I always buy the 7-Eleven’s Just Like a Fully Ripe Mango that I recommend this time. This is an ice cream bar, but there are many different kinds of ice cream bars. One of the characteristics of many ice cream bars that I personally feel is that the flavor of the ice cream bar varies in thickness from one part to another. However, with this product, I could taste the rich mango flavor in every corner, and I never had a headache while eating it because it was too cold. This is a favorite product that I always put in my product basket without hesitation. The coming season is the time of year when we want to eat cold food, especially ice cream. I think many people have a 7-Eleven on their way home from the university. So, I hope you will stop by and pick up one of these products.

I want to go to Tuvalu. This is a poster I designed for a design exhibition in March this year. I want to go to Tuvalu. Not many people know, but Tuvalu is a tiny island country in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and it is sinking at about 5mm every year because of global warming. The rising ocean and harsher weather is causing Tuvalu to ‘sink’. Chances are, in my lifetime, Tuvalu will have sunk so far it will be uninhabitable (nobody can live there anymore). I want to visit before it disappears forever, and before I die. I designed the poster (B1 size), showing how much the ocean will rise in the coming years. You can see the yearly rise in the black box at the bottom, with the years marked on the side. I wrote “ツバル行きたい” in the sand and took a photo and put it in the poster. The reason I want to visit is so that I can make a magazine about Tuvalu. I want to record the voices of the people there, and make it into a book. We cannot stop the rising ocean. Tuvalu will dissappear. This is fixed. I hope that the book I want to make will serve as a reminder of something that will eventually be lost.
